suicidedoor air manegment kits any good?

Just wonderin if the ***************** air management kits are any good for the money. I will be bagging my truck in the near future and like the thought of buying a kit rather than piecing togeather one. Im looking to spend from 1000-1500 on everything i need hopefully.

also if anyone has has some other resources for kits id appreciate it.

thanks.

also, there is different kits available and im curious what the up sides and down sides are to them. seems the biggest differences between the standardized kits are port, and valve diameter (1/2", 3/8") any imput to a new bagger would be appreciated.

Re: suicidedoor air manegment kits anygood?

3/8" is a good size to run with one tank and it will ensure you don't drop too fast. I like my 3/8" lines, and from what I've heard, unless you want to fill/drop really fast, 1/2" is a bit much for a basic kit.

From what I'm going through now, though. I recommend a 8-valve kit to reduce body roll in the turns. I originally went with 4 valves (control front and back, not each wheel independently) and am now going back and adding on. I hope that helps.
